A mysterious cloaked figure confronted Aditya and his women in the Dragon Mountain Range, revealing himself as Michael Carrick, a core member of the Organisation and the hated stepbrother of Duke Ferdinand. Carrick, a Beginner 7th-order cultivator fueled by lifelong resentment and dreams of revenge, declared his intent to kill Aditya before targeting his brother. Aditya taunted Carrick as the eternal number two, transformed into his Crimson Lightning Dragon form, activated his boosts, and prepared for battle as Athena, Rin, and Laura retreated to safety.

Darkness swiftly overtook the sky. Thick dark clouds laced with crimson lightning spanned nearly a quarter of the Dragon Mountain Range. Upon witnessing this sight, the girls withdrew even farther, realizing the clash was poised to erupt into utter pandemonium.

Simultaneously, a suit of crimson lightning armor materialized over Aditya’s complete form.

His physique underwent a subtle shift as well. Crimson claws replaced his hands. Stunning, jewel-like scales that shimmered with light coated his body everywhere but his face, extending right up to his chin. His pupils morphed into narrow crimson slits, while his fangs grew sharper and extended slightly.

Magnificent crimson dragon wings burst open from his back.

Aditya merely skimmed the ultimate figures. They were utterly monstrous. Even with the vast gap in power between Beginner 5th-order and Beginner 7th-order, his boosted numbers now rivaled Carrick's.

The gulf separating a Beginner 5th-order cultivator from a Beginner 7th-order one mirrored the divide between heaven and earth.

In many regions, a Beginner 5th-order powerhouse remained formidable, able to dominate regular cultivators and tower over myriad fighters, yet against a Beginner 7th-order titan, such might appeared pitifully feeble.

This leap wasn't merely numerical. It represented a total upgrade in potency, aura, and devastation. Each attribute—be it strength, speed, stamina, health, or mana—elevated to a realm where 7th-order beings crushed 5th-order foes effortlessly. Their frames tougher, velocities keener, resilience deeper, mana oceans boundless, rendering the chasm all but insurmountable.

To any Beginner 5th-order practitioner, a Beginner 7th-order juggernaut loomed not as a mere opponent, but as an inexorable cataclysm.

A typical Beginner 5th-order cultivator boasted aggregate stats around 7,000 – 9,000, individual ones such as strength or mana hovering near 1,200 – 2,000 based on focus. Conversely, a Beginner 7th-order cultivator kicked off with roughly 25,000 – 27,000 total stats, each trait soaring past 4,000 – 6,000 or higher.

Thus, even a 5th-order specialist maxing one stat would find a 7th-order rival eclipsing it while excelling everywhere else. Take a 5th-order sorcerer packing 2,500 mana—a 7th-order brute with 4,500+ mana would steamroll them, boasting double or triple the brawn and vitality.

Still, Aditya sensed his stats now equaled Carrick’s.

Meanwhile, sweat beaded on Carrick's brow as Aditya’s aura skyrocketed. At battle's outset, it flickered like a frail candle, but now it blazed as fiercely as his own, matching its savage ferocity.

’How can this be?’ Even deploying some forbidden art to inflate stats, a Beginner 5th-order shouldn’t bridge to Beginner 7th-order levels.

’None of this adds up.’

Observing from kilometers away, Athena’s lips curved into a faint smile.

”What’s going on?” Rin inquired upon noticing.

”Right now, Aditya surpasses me in strength. And not just barely—it’s a massive, overwhelming gap.” As a Peak 6th-order cultivator, Athena’s old wounds forced her to prioritize healing over breakthroughs. Else, she’d have hit 7th-order by now.

”No need to fret over him. He’ll handle it.”

”How did your aura climb to rival a Seventh Order cultivator’s?” Carrick blurted out before the fray resumed.

”That’s my secret.” Early on, Aditya lacked assurance against a beginner 7th-order foe, but these enhancements lifting his base to beginner 7th-order tier filled him with victory’s certainty.

Flexibility-wise, no rival could compete. He wielded diverse elemental long-range barrages, excelled in close quarters via blistering agility, nimble tight maneuvers, instant teleports, and gravity denial.

Aditya knew himself a supreme all-rounder. While others leaned on singular elite skills, artifacts, or paths for dominance, he amassed multiples of each.

He forged artifacts to plug gaps. Five mythical classes bolstered him. Potent skills abounded too.

United, these rendered him an battlefield colossus.

”Once this duel ends, I won’t kill you.”

”You’ll witness me leisurely snuffing those three girls’ lives.”

Carrick glanced toward the girls, then flashed Aditya a feral smirk. ”I crave that terror twisting your features.”

”I yearn to hear your agonized roars of fury as I tear out their hearts bit by bit, you helpless on the dirt like the pathetic, banished prince you truly are.”

Carrick barely uttered the words before Aditya blinked in front of him, slamming a fist packed with his full might.
